Wheel seals

[AK7]

Had my 1st wheel seal go out on this disc brake equipped truck.
A different leak pattern compared to drum brakes.
Actually had a little grease spray show up between the dual coming thru the holes.
I smelled it on my post trip at 9pm so I grabbed the flashlight and saw it.
Just got it back from our shop the day before for a grease job and u-joint.
So it went bad quick.

How many miles on it before it let go?

233k

That seems rather premature to me.

Distance like that, probably an incorrectly adjusted bearing setup.

Only time mine have failed early before 700k

I'm running in axle deep mud alot this time of the year.
Might've had something to do with it.
